Possible bug in Intel 330 series SSD

Hello mailing list,

I might have found a wrong behaviour of smartctl or a bug in the firmware of the Intel 330 series SSD.
The bug I found is, that the Attribute Power_On_Hours_and_Msec with the ID 9 on the device SSDSC2CT120A3
doesn't get shown properly in smartctl.
It is shown as 895681h+08m+16.520s, which translates to about 37.320 days of permanent usage, which is just impossible.
I do not suspect a drive failure of the drive I looked at, as I noticed a similiar insane value for that attribute shortly after I bought it.

I do not know if any other devices are affected by this, but it could be just a similiar bug in firmwares as with the samsung bug with the wrong byte order.

Regards
Noel Kuntze
